This is mine :) OPTIMISM by Ella Wheeler Wilcox TALK HAPPINESS. The world is sad enough Without your woes. No path is wholly rough: Look for the places that are smooth and clear, And speak of those, to rest the weary ear Of Earth, so hurt by one continuous strain Of human discontent and grief and pain. TALK FAITH. The world is better off without Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt. If you have faith in God, or man, or self, Say so. If not, push back upon the shelf Of silence all your thoughts, till faith shall come: No one will grieve because your lips are dumb. TALK HEALTH. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, or interest, or please By harping on that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true.

"Starkle Starkle little Twink"! "What the Heck you are I Think"! "I'm Not as Think as some Drunkle Peep I am"! "The Drunker I sit here the Longer I get"! "I've only had Tee Martunies tonight"!



Not sure if it's the entire poem....

but.....the only part I know. All that lives is born to die, But in stranger eons, even death may die.... H.P. Lovecraft

One day I was awoken by a Robin on my cill Its song was oh so beautiful so pure so loud and shrill It disturbed me from my slumbers as I lay in my bed So I shut the goddam window and crushed its little head :) :)
